My lower back has many problems and so much pain. I had injections 3 weeks ago. It has helped but the pain is not gone for good.<br /><br />Glad you had a great holiday! The holidays were very difficult for us but we made it through. I think changing traditions helped a lot! I'm hoping this year is much better and brings peace.<br /><br />Take good care of yourself! I've been thinking of all the bloggers that live in the NE, Midwest, etc. It's been bitterly cold here but not what you have. I do know that I couldn't live in all that snow and cold. :) Our summers are brutal but at least one can get out.<br /><br />xo<br />PatGypsy Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08776584538863129486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-22108577613675787712014-01-07T22:11:00.173-06:002014-01-07T22:11:00.173-06:00Hope your back is feeling better!!!!

I still cannot fully function. So, my advice is: do NOT give in to surgery. Just continue doing what you are doing and muddle through.<br /><br />Sorry to be so glum.<br /><br />SallySmilingSallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10479373067844173653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-13300790244044744012014-01-06T13:12:02.596-06:002014-01-06T13:12:02.596-06:00I feel for you Jane, I really hope your back gets ...I feel for you Jane, I really hope your back gets better soon. My husband deals with back pain day in and day out, but even when he gets them, he goes on his zero-gravity apparatus and does a lot of stretching, he says it really helps just a bit of work for some. <br /><br />It's very cold out here in the south too and we're trying to keep things warm at home. Love that onion thing you showed, might have to try it soon, although would you believe I never worked with pastry puff before?!<br /><br />take care dear, I love HD too, last year bought a pair of Christmas trees for my planters for $3 each and all my lighted garland for $1.79!

I p...Dear Jane, so sorry to hear about your back. I put mine out months ago and boy oh boy it was the worst pain I had ever felt. Well, that and child birth and when my knees have popped out of place. All painful. :) Took a week for my back to heal. I find it interesting about the ice as I've always heard of ice for swelling and heat for pain. I put a heating pad on my back and that felt so nice. Don't think I would want ice on it. As for the medication, our bodies aren't really supposed to have all those chemicals, so having a headache could be a side effect. It sounds like you had a good Christmas despite the back problems. I use hope the weather clears. We've had rain the past two days which is not really good in this country where drainage is a huge issue. And when things are made of concrete that cracks, leaks are bound to happen. My son is to head back to Colorado on Friday. I do hope the snow storms will have settled by then so that he doesn't have any problems. Wishing you all the best for the new year.

Though I did take some things down at the other place. I was going to have Charles take the Christmas socks off the porches, but people were out there photographing them yesterday so I hated to spoil their fun. I have to go to funerals this week, a board meeting out of town, and a wedding. So I don't know when they are coming down. I have to supervise or it's not done properly. You know the drill! ;-)<br /><br />Love ya,<br /><br />SheilaThe Quintessential Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010105595059019883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-15219306238485520522014-01-05T15:01:34.471-06:002014-01-05T15:01:34.471-06:00Happy New Year, Jane!
